While the brutal murder of Shraddha Walkar has shaken the country now, two gory murders rocked the city two years back. All the three crimes have similarities—the killers chopped up the body into multiple pieces for easy disposal. Other similarities appear in the use of incense sticks and disinfectants, and renting of flat days before the murder. 

Aftab Poonawala killed his live-in partner Walkar and dismembered her body into dozens of pieces. The 28-year-old then went out and bought a refrigerator to store her remains, which he disposed of in a nearby jungle at Mehrauli, Delhi, in over three months.
